I have a small Europro from HSN, and now 2 black featherweights that travel very well. I have heard the Europro has a bad reputation, but it has worked very well for me for at least 5 years. It doesn't get used much but works when I have needed it.
If you have a Costco near you they carry Brother and some are very reasonable - my sister got hers there and it has lasted at least 10 years.
